The coroner’s concerns
– 1. The significant understaffing of the Radiology department at the hospital. 2. The national shortage of radiology trainee posts. 3. The expectation that the reporting of all scans including non urgent, will be done within an hour. 4. The appointment of call handlers to triage calls to reduce the demands on the radiologists’ time has been delayed due to cost.
